History

Originally known as "Woodrow Wilson High School" when it opened in 1917, the program moved from original building on North University Drive in March 2012. The historic building is on the National Historic Register. The high school itself has been moved to the Agassiz Building one mile south. Dakota High School shares Agassiz space with the Fargo Adult Learning Center, Early Childhood Special Education, Middle School Alternative Education Day Program (EDP), Project InVest (post high school life skill transition Special Education program) and EvenStart pre-school and the offices of several District programs and community partners.[1]

In July 2020, in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, the Fargo Human Relations Commission unanimously voted to recommend the Fargo School Board rename the school because of Woodrow Wilson's racist policies against African-Americans, including the decision to re-segregate the federal workforce.[2][3][4] In 2021, Woodrow Wilson High School was renamed to "Dakota High School".[5]
